    My girlfriend and I rode from St Petersburg to Barcelona. We both rode our favorite bikes and my god one of the best experiences ever. We did the whole trip in two days.

    if your buddy likes backpacks, me too, use 2 backpacks. Strap one to the rear seat and wear the other. When he wants a rest from the weight of the pack he is wearing he can lean back and the pack he is wearing can rest on the backpack that is strapped to the seat. Best of both worlds. If you only need 1 pack just strap it to the rear seat. I use a bungie net, fast easy and it all goes with me.

    How did your passenger sit comfortable with saddlebags in the way?

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  Před 6 lety +9

      The passenger sits with their feet on foot pegs, and their legs are bent. The side saddle bags sit under their legs and not affecting their seating position at all.
      Good question.

    I noticed the gas prices changing at the gas stop. 1.12 per litre compared to 2.40 cents there now, crazy eh

    With reference to your mate struggling with the weight of his rucksack on his shoulders , that's simple tell him to buy a Kriega .
    They are amazing . You don't feel any weight at all , it's all transferred through the quad lock system
    Simple but brilliant , highly recommended 👍🏻

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  Před 6 lety

      Oh I've heard of that! Good to know! Thanks for the recommendation.

    • @JB-eo3iq
      @JB-eo3iq Před 6 lety

      DownieLive ive got theses kriega bags mounted on my street triple r 2014 and the 15 ltr backpack. there great bags for these bikes almost made for them. i did a video with them mounted. albeit no as good as this one, just something i threw together but you can see how big they are and how they fit.

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  Před 6 lety

      Oh that’s awesome! Thanks very much! Yeah, you’re not the first person to recommend them.

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  Před 6 lety

      Ross, this great info.
      She likely won’t be learning to ride anytime soon, but we may get there eventually...

  • @leviellyson8030

    Cool video but you didn’t really talk about essentials for a trip. A title like this you would expect more about the type of gear. For example, did you take rain gear, what do you have for tools, flairs, do you have rider to rider communication if so, what did you use? This seems to be more just a road trip video with the basic obvious gear. Entertaining but looses the “essentials” part.

    "Do it"

  • @ravenrodriguez7818
    @ravenrodriguez7818 Před 5 lety +2

    I'm planning to do a road trip with my brother using a Yamaha R3.
    What are your suggestions?
    The trip will be 1755km in a span of 4 days (351km a day)

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  Před 5 lety +2

      My biggest suggestion is keep as much weight off your back/arms. Either get a tank bag to put your heavy items into, or saddle bag, but, you’re really not going too far each day. You’ll only be riding for 3-4 hrs a day, and can easily split that up with stops to rest if you need to.
      Pack light and enjoy!

    Where do you get you're biking gear, like the jacket?

    • @DownieLive
      @DownieLive  Před 6 lety

      I go to a local store in Vancouver so I can try on gear. Having it fit you correctly is important. I recommend you go check out a local motorcycle store in your city.
